Trusts Attorney in Englewood, OH
When you think of estate planning, you usually think of a simple will as the backbone of any estate plan. Over the past decade, however, many people have found that wills are not necessarily the best option for every estate and every person. A trust—like a will—specifies how your assets will be distributed. The primary advantage of a trust over a will is that the probate court has no involvement in a trust. A trust can be structured to take effect before your death, after your death, and in the event of incapacitation. A will takes effect only upon death, then must be probated. Probate can be a lengthy, public, and expensive process.
A trust can accomplish many different goals, including transferring property, minimizing estate taxes, preserving assets for minors until they are adults, ensuring a special needs adult is taken care of while maintaining eligibility for government programs and benefitting a charity. While the up-front costs of a trust may be higher than those of a will, in the long run, a trust can save your family money, time, and headaches.
